Atlas continues its series
of historic EMD F-unit locomotives with this latest release of
the F-3 Phase II version. The mid-1940s found the majority of
North American railroads in the process of re-equipping their
motive power fleets. The war effort had taken its toll on the
steam locomotive and the rail lines were now looking at the
diesel newcomer which had proven itself during World War II. At
the forefront was General Motors with their E and F series of
passenger and freight locomotives. This series of models focuses
on the year 1947, and highlights the motive power direction of
some of America’s most well-known railways. These locos also
feature some of the most colorful paint schemes ever applied to
freight and passenger locomotives.

These locomotives (the
Burlington (CB&Q) in particular) are the perfect match for our
recently announced California Zephyr Passenger Cars.
